REBID of Public Safety Building Elevator Addition and Alterations Project

The Public Safety Building Elevator Addition and Alterations Project is a federally funded construction initiative located at 401 Washington Street, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, under the jurisdiction of the City of Johnstown and administered by Cambria County. The project involves the addition of a new elevator system with associated site work, along with comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system replacements, and includes alternates for additional interior and exterior improvements. All work must adhere to the latest state and local codes, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and stringent federal requirements including the Build America, Buy America Act and the Pennsylvania Office of the Budget Domestic Steel Products Procurement Act. The project is subject to Davis-Bacon wage rates, and all labor must comply with federal and state prevailing wage standards. Bids must be submitted electronically via the PennBid portal by July 6, 2026, at 1:00 PM, and must include a bid bond equal to ten percent of the proposed contract sum. The contract will be awarded through multiple prime contracts for General, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing work, each on a stipulated sum basis, with evaluation based on the lowest responsible bidder’s total bid—including base and alternates—with price as the primary but not sole consideration, factoring in contractor reputation, qualifications via AIA A305, and subcontractor quality and locality. The contract documents incorporate AIA A101-2017 and A201-2017, with supplementary conditions modifying the general terms, and require submission of a detailed schedule of values, construction progress schedule with monthly cash flow projections, weather-adjusted timelines, and mandatory closeout documentation including warranties, test reports, and final punch lists. Substantial completion is targeted for July 31, 2027, with liquidated damages of $1,000 per day for delays beyond that date. Bidders must also provide performance and payment bonds in full contract value, proof of insurance, debarment certifications, non-collusion affidavits, anti-lobbying certificates, and steel origin and U.S. manufacture certifications. Mandatory site visit and pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 16, 2026, and all inquiries must be submitted through PennBid by June 23, 2026. All materials must be delivered in original manufacturer packaging with full labeling, and construction personnel must maintain extensive records including training certifications, safety programs, OSHA compliance documentation, and labor records.
